Finally some direct comparisons between the two super sedans. These are runs on the track between two brothers one of whom has the F10 M5 and the other with a 6 speed manual CTS-V. Both cars we are stock. The runs are very close with the first video featuring a roll on that is neck and neck. The second video has runs from a stop and the M5 takes two runs and the CTS-V takes two showing whomever got the better launch got the win.

It is a bit surprising the cars from a roll looked to be even as we would expect the M5 with its dual clutch to have an advantage there on the CTS-V. This is the best comparison we have of actual owners squaring off until we see the cars on the drag strip.

No, I'll have a domestic site soon enough. I've made the decision to evolve this into an all around performance car site. I just need to figure out how to clone myself.

If you decide to add some moderators I would gladly lend a hand. I enjoy the site...

In the meantime great vids and honest comparisons of the two cars. I still want a V wagon dropped on 20" CCW's or somoe deep dish convex wheels. The M5 would appear to be the better car acceleration wise especially from a dig and/or the upper range of a roll.

moderator here too please....i mean...i think i was the biggest advocate of the domestic section anyways

These cars are awesome. I agree that maybe interior wise the M5 is much more refined etc, but man, when you get on the V it's just a pleasure to drive. Plus, either the V driver is a great shifter or the DCT in the M5 is on normal drive mode, because of some of the runs.

Plus, I don't know how some people talk of modding... I break this thing loose in 3rd gear. I have yet to EVER launch it clean in first. I don't think that mods are too necessary, but maybe if this forum does to me what happened with my 335i, ill be modding this thing!
